Bannerfilter prevents FlashVideoContainer from loading.

I guess we all know .flv streaming sites. No need to explain. Now I will try to explain without giving the actual URLs.

Given:
Site with the videos: www.video.tld
Site with the banners: www.banners.tld
Adblockplus Filter preventing the Video from loading: http://*.banners.tld/*


Now www.banners.tld has a hitcount of 302, so I don't want to disable the whole filter just for this one site. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to disable the filter only on site www.video.tld?


I hope I made my problem clear, thanks.

No. You can't disable a certain filter for a specific site only.

What I think you can do however is to use a very, very specific whitelist to disable any filters for that video.

It's easier if you could give an url

You can see if the video server also contains the name of the host site in the video address somewhere. If it does, then a whitelist for just those is simple:
@@.banners.tld*.video.tld.com
You can also look for something that covers this problem on other sites as well instead, Find something like:

Code: Select all

@@.banners.tld*videoplayer
It takes a lot of creativity and seeing a lot of instances to find some 'common ground' with videos these days.

I went with the very specific whitelist, thanks.
